Hello Isabella, Izaiah, and team,

  Izaiah, thanks for letting me know what you're working on! And Isabella, is that one of the questions you're thinking about investigating?

  Pollen is very much on my mind right now, because spring allergies have started making me sneeze! We've had a slow, cold spring in Wisconsin, which means the trees (mainly trees causing allergies this time of year here) are slowly releasing their pollen and SLOWLY opening their flowers.

  Keep me posted - what other questions have you thought of about pollen?

Best,

 - Dr. Evelyn

Hello Isabella and Team!

  It's good to meet you and I'm looking forward to working with you! My name is Dr. Evelyn, and I am a restoration ecologist, which means I try to restore and improve habitats like prairies and woods. I also like plant genetics! When I'm not working I like to cook, read, play video games, and run with my two dogs.

  Isabella, what has been your favorite science project up to now?

  When you get the chance let me know what your favorite plants are. Mine are the bur oak tree (a massive tree that looks really amazing) and potatoes (because I like to eat french fries!).

  Best,

- Dr. Evelyn
